Season 2 kicks off with a new episode of What's up Wednesday's! 

Quotes: 

“We’re so busy managing our life that we miss out on this great mystery we’re a part of.” - John O Donahue

“The man who, being really on the Way, falls upon hard times in the world will not, as a consequence, turn to that friend who offers him refuge and comfort and encourages his old self to survive. Rather, he will seek out someone who will faithfully and inexorably help him to risk himself, so that he may endure the suffering and pass courageously through it, thus making of it a "raft that leads to the far shore. Only to the extent that man exposes himself over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within him. In this lies the dignity of daring.” - Karl Gras Durkheim

An amazing conversation with Syd! We chatted about going all in on her active lifestyle pursuits, but not getting caught up in trying to be the best runner, or boxer. Instead enjoying the process and be mindful of what you're getting out of your pursuits, "winning" isn't everything. Check out her new podcast Toenails, “a podcast about running and also not about running.” Linked below!

I had an absolute pleasure talking with Ron Griswell. We walked through his journey of becoming an avid outdoorsman, how that led to him wanting to share the great outdoors with others, and how he continues the movement to get BIPOC outside! He has an amazing 5k set up for this month that will help support his organization HBCU's Outside. We encourage everyone to get involved! Full links below.

On today's episode we talk about the importance of tuning into the body, and how that translates into our performance in sport. We also touch on Rate of Perceived Effort for runners VS being too attached to the our fitness watches for mile split times.
